Plain turquoise jacket
Coating the nail with a single-color varnish is the simplest design option, which looks very laconic and can be additionally decorated with decor. A turquoise jacket can be made according to the classic example, when only the free edge of the nail plate is covered with colored varnish, or it can be applied to the nail instead of a transparent base. In this case, the smile line remains snow-white and can be highlighted with shiny strokes or several pebbles. A similar idea with an accent in the form of drawings and decor on the ring finger and an unusual shape of a smile, for example, a triangular one, looks beautiful and gentle.

- At the end of the manicure we fix it with a top coat and dry it.
Reverse French
This design differs from the previous version in the location of the smile line on the nail. In an inverted or reverse French, the strip is applied not to the tip of the nail, but at its base. For drawing, use classic white or any other varnish that is used in the design. This version of a smile stands out very beautifully with shiny varnishes or glitter. A reverse French manicure is often combined with a classic French manicure, which looks fresh and original on the nails.
Turquoise manicure for long nails
Since manicures are optimal for nails of any length, there are many different options to consider. By the way, on long nails it is easier to create different designs and stylistic solutions. At the same time, the shape of the nail can be different, such a manicure will look good even if the nails are square or almond-shaped.
Stylish under-french
To diversify the restraint and severity of French design, salon masters suggest showing a little imagination and experimenting with the way you apply a smile. The under-French differs from previously known examples in its original appearance of a smile. The line on the free tip of the nail is not drawn to the end or consists of several oblique stripes applied to one of the side parts of the nail plate. This design looks very unusual and will be an ideal choice for bold and confident fashionistas who are not averse to informal nail design. Turquoise lines combine beautifully with white or silver varnish and can be complemented with single rhinestones or designs.

Turquoise jacket with flowers
The turquoise jacket itself looks very gentle and airy, so you should decorate your nails with appropriate designs. A variety of flowers, twigs, modest buds and thin blades of grass are more relevant in this case than ever. Complement the jacket with delicate wildflowers, noble orchids, snow-white daisies, peonies or any other flowers that look harmonious with the turquoise palette. It is better to place floristry on one or two accent nails, using darker or lighter varnishes to draw details. Floral designs combine very beautifully with glitter and rhinestones, which can also be taken into account and used in the design.
Double color and ombre
The beautiful transition of one color to another creates a fantastic ombre or gradient manicure look. Here the colors are selected with special care so that they harmonize with each other as best as possible. These colors can flow into each other horizontally, diagonally or vertically.
But the double color forms a combination of two colors on the nail. For example, pink and turquoise, turquoise and blue, light green and turquoise. These colors can be located on one nail, or they can go on different nails.
Rubbed design
Using one of the types of rubbing when creating a jacket in turquoise tones allows you to display the surface of the water surface on your nails, which looks incredibly elegant. Silver, golden, rainbow or holographic tints can directly complement the line of the jacket or be beautifully placed on the ring nail. You can simultaneously decorate neighboring fingers with patterns of rhinestones and beads, or experiment and combine the shimmer of powder and shiny decor on one or two nails at the same time.
Turquoise multi-colored manicure

Or get a two-tone manicure. For example, turquoise with mint, beige, purple, yellow. This nail extension technique remains relevant in 2021-2022.
Manicure in Tiffany style
Such a charming name implies the use of a fashionable duet consisting of turquoise and classic white colors when designing. A characteristic feature of a Tiffany-style manicure is the obligatory presence of a voluminous white bow, which is usually placed on the accent nail. In our example, the decoration can be replaced or supplemented with a white lunula or a stripe at the tip of the nail. The use of shiny accents in the form of rhinestones, kamifubuki, metallic stripes and glitter touches is welcome.
Manicure in turquoise tones with rhinestones
The idea is not new, but it is still at the forefront of manicure choices for special occasions or long nails. Natural rhinestones and shades of the sea, turquoise attract attention and create a brilliant manicure. You can enhance the effect of elegance by adding a second color, such as combining turquoise and neutral beige polish in one design. At the same time, decorate with rhinestones in a cool beige shade.
Black lacquer design
Contrasting tandems always look original and a little festive, and the combination of a turquoise palette with black varnish looks bright and expressive. In order not to overload the nails, you should use black to draw individual details of the design. Thus, various geometric figures, flowers, abstract designs or insect bodies stand out very beautifully. A black smile line, which can be placed both at the tip and at the base of the nail, will decorate your nails no less chicly.

This technique has been relevant for many recent seasons. The smooth transition of shades from white to turquoise looks very natural. You can also use different shades of turquoise to create a gradient, applying them from lighter to darker. This design can be diversified by adding sparkles, bouillons or other decorative elements.
We recommend that fashionistas try combinations of turquoise with the following tones to create an ombre effect:
- Persikov;
- Pink;
- Indigo;
- Bright green;
- Yellow;
- Dairy;
- Violet.
In the style of "different hands"
The “different hands” nail technique is a bold solution for desperate fashionistas. On one hand the design is made in one style and color scheme, on the second - in another.
You can apply delicate shades of turquoise to your right hand, and brighter shades to your left. You can also combine turquoise with other shades. The main thing is that the shape and length of the nails on both hands should be the same.
With foil
Foil is a popular tool for nail decoration. There are many ways to create stylish designs using foil. The bright turquoise color will look great with foil in a contrasting shade.
In this case, it is recommended not to clutter your nails; you can decorate only a couple of fingers. You can create a gentle and romantic manicure by applying shiny thin foil ribbons to the turquoise.
cat's eye
This is one of the top manicure techniques. The cat eye is universal and goes with any look. This season, a turquoise manicure made using this technique will look very fashionable and as expressive as possible. A cat's eye in turquoise shades emphasizes the depth of color, captivates, looks mysterious, eye-catchingly luxurious and expensive.
This is a suitable option for an evening or holiday look. In addition, this technique looks great even without the use of additional decorative elements.
Broken glass
The effect of fragments on nails in combination with a turquoise tone looks romantic and elegant. To work in this technique, a special printing foil is used, small pieces of which are applied to the nails. The light falling on the hands is refracted, creating an extraordinary shimmer on the nails.
A turquoise manicure made using this technique looks impressive, attracting the views of others.
Turquoise effect
As we already mentioned above in the article, the turquoise color got its name from a semi-precious stone - turquoise, so the design, which imitates the color of a natural mineral, has become simply a masterpiece of nail design. A similar effect can be created using pieces of foil or a pattern. In the first example, crumpled pieces of foil are dipped in black varnish and then carefully applied to the turquoise tips of the nails, which allows the veins and stains characteristic of turquoise to be applied to the coating. In the second example, similar patterns are created with a thin brush.
A turquoise French jacket looks both gentle and original on nails. It will be a wonderful addition to many looks and guarantees its owner a surge of vivacity and a great mood. This is a great opportunity to look beautiful, stylish and stay on trend, because every young lady strives for this.

Modern fashion trends allow for a mixture of several decorative techniques. It is easy to complement French with light painting or small stasis, while maintaining a sense of proportion.
Additional decor can be applied selectively by decorating one or two fingers.
